The first person who is known to have privately made photocopies for himself of the 1998-2000 issues of “Vaincre” from the Bibliothèque Nationale was Pierre Jarnac (Michel Vallet), who is also known to have made a copy of one of the issues to Andreas Ardus, who in turn uploaded a copy of it onto Frank McGovern’s “Tamed Eyes” Yahoo Group. The very first copies on microfilm that were made by the Bibliothèque Nationale were made to this website dated 17 January 2003. The microfilm date is 2003. The first translated articles from French into English thus first appeared on this website from 2003.

Unfortunately the accompanying letter from the Bibliothèque Nationale stating this was the first such photocopies of “Vaincre” 1989-1990 from Microfilm has long since perished. A few years afterwards, a French website made available all the issues of “Vaincre” 1998-1990 on one PDF Document (the exact date or website has not been recorded). This was the start of the copies of the 1989-1990 issues of “Vaincre” and “Le Cercle” to the general public (“Le Cercle” is a compendium of all the issues of “Vaincre” with minor alterations in the text, by Thomas Plantard de Saint Clair).

It was this sudden shift in the history and origin of the Priory of Sion as given in the issues of Vaincre 1998-2000 that was responsible for alienating Louis Vazart from Pierre Plantard – and consequently rubbished both Vazart’s books and his movement based in Stenay devoted to Dagobert II, including his journal “Etudes Merovingiennes”, the journal of the Cercle Saint-Dagobert II.

This was all kept quiet by the authors of “The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail” – Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln – all of whom moved to either different subject matters – or matters relating to Rennes-le-Château that did not involve Pierre Plantard and the Priory of Sion.

The readers were all betrayed.
